## Resource

Software-defined warfare is today's reality for national security, shifting the emphasis in military operations from hardware to software. In the latest podcast from the Carnegie Mellon University Software Engineering Institute, SEI director Paul Nielsen recently sat down with Matthew Butkovic, technical director of Risk and Resilience in the SEI's CERT Division, to discuss the evolution of software-defined warfare and the ways in which software engineering practices can meaningfully address the challenges of implementing software on the battlefield.
